Connic Bridge - connect private networks to Connic Cloud

Connic Bridge

Connect your private infrastructure to Connic Cloud. The Connic Bridge runs inside your network (VPC, on-prem, etc.) and creates a secure outbound tunnel to the Connic relay. No inbound firewall rules required.

Quick Start

Docker (recommended)

docker run -d --name connic-bridge \
  -e BRIDGE_TOKEN=cbr_your_token_here \
  -e ALLOWED_HOSTS=kafka:9092,postgres:5432 \
  connicorg/bridge:latest

pip

pip install connic-bridge

connic-bridge \
  --token cbr_your_token_here \
  --allow kafka:9092 \
  --allow postgres:5432

Configuration

Option	Env Var	Description
--token	BRIDGE_TOKEN	Bridge authentication token (from Connic dashboard)
--relay-url	RELAY_URL	Relay URL (default: wss://relay.connic.co)
--allow	ALLOWED_HOSTS	Comma-separated host:port pairs the bridge may connect to
--log-level	LOG_LEVEL	DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, or ERROR

How It Works

1. The Connic Bridge establishes an outbound WebSocket connection to the Connic relay service. No inbound ports need to be opened.
2. When a Connic connector (e.g. Kafka, PostgreSQL) needs to reach a private endpoint, the relay asks the bridge to open a TCP connection.
3. The bridge validates the target against the allowed hosts list, opens a local TCP connection, and proxies data bidirectionally.
4. All traffic is encrypted via WSS (TLS).

Security

• Outbound-only - the bridge never accepts inbound connections.
• Allowed hosts - you control exactly which services the bridge can reach.
• Token authentication - each bridge is tied to a single Connic project.
• TLS encryption - all relay communication uses WSS.
